While not everyone here is a GOP supporter, the reprehensible tactics of this leftist MoveOn.org-spinoff group should give pause:

The oh-so-tolerant leftists have launched a campaign to send “WARNING” letters to potential GOP donors in a thuggish attempt to depress Republican fund-raising.

Read the link for the whole story.

Shoot, just take the letter, change the letterhead to MoveOn and change Republican to Democrat. Send it out and see out well it flies - or, er, draws flies.

If they want to use the original letter, it has the KKK letterhead on it.

'Leftist' group looks to dig through lives of 'conservatives'
Ex-Moveon leader's planned 'warning' letters to donors 'could fall under the KKK Act'

World Net Daily

A public interest group that prosecutes government corruption announced an investigation into a left-leaning group that is warning contributors to conservative causes this election year about "potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives."

Officials with Judicial Watch today said its investigation into Accountable America would focus on a nationwide effort by the "liberal activist group to intimidate supporters of Republican and conservative causes," because those activities may fall under a key federal civil rights law known as the Ku Klux Klan Act.

...and this ought to catch your eye:

The group is led by Tom Matzzie, who has been involved with prominent left-wing efforts in recent years.

Matzzie told the newspaper he and his cohorts "want to stop the Swift Boating before it gets off the ground." He told the newspaper his effort is "going for the jugular."

...and check this:

A spokesman for Freedom's Watch, Ed Patru, said he wasn't particularly concerned about Matzzie's plan.

"This idea sounds even more sloppily thought out than his last venture, which, of course, went belly-up for lack of financial support," Patru told the Times.

And Chris LaCivita, a GOP strategist who worked on the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth effort during the 2004 campaign, said Matzzie's coalition likely will spur donors, instead of discouraging them.

"They’re not going to be intimidated by some pipsqueak on the kooky left," LaCivita told the Times.

Judicial Watch, however, said such intimidation could fall under the KKK Act.

"Attempts to intimidate individuals from participating in the presidential campaign can be a violation of federal law," the organization said.
